Interesting Things

One project has been importing large amounts of pre-formatted text out of a 3rd-party database and wanted to display it on a site with as little effort as possible. The best solution was to display it as pre-formatted with the <pre> tag, but also tell the browser to word-wrap it so it doesn’t all display as one big line:
<pre><code>
pre {
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
font: 12px verdana;
}
</code></pre>

The tubes are clogged! We are doing a lot of remote pairing with <a href="http://www.skype.com/">Skype</a>, <a href="http://www.tightvnc.com/">TightVNC</a>, and <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/">Adobe Acrobat Connect</a>, all of which really sloooooooooooooow down your network.
